Significance/Background: Type II Diabetes Mellitus (TIIDM) is a growing epidemic in Belize. The prevalence is increasing yearly, responsible for considerable health complications and deaths. Rates are much higher in Belize than in any other developing Central American country, and many rural citizens are undiagnosed and untreated. Access to healthcare is complex, and travel is often required in rural areas. Primary care visits in Belize are significantly less than in surrounding North and Central American countries. As a result, chronic illnesses such as TIIDM often go undiagnosed among children, adolescents, and adults- leaving TIIDM a leading cause of death in Belize. …

Purpose: Strategies for reducing burnout and improving work-life balance have been recommended for both organizations and individual athletic trainers. Little is known about what types of self-care (SC) strategies are already being used by athletic trainers. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the number and type of SC strategies used by athletic trainers on a weekly basis. Methods: We used a cross-sectional design with web-based survey to explore the SC strategies used by athletic trainers.

Second Victim Syndrome And Organizational Support For Healthcare Providers: A Scoping Review, Kaitlyn R. Petryszyn, Justin P. Young, Elizabeth R. Neil, Jennifer E. Benedict, Lindsey E. Eberman
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Purpose: Healthcare providers may experience critical incidents, medical errors, or other adverse patient events in their clinical practice.Providers that encounter such events can experience second victim syndrome (SVS), a condition where providers feel psychological, cognitive, or physical reactions rendering care in these instances. Organizational support may mediate the impacts of SVS after an adverse patient event. We conducted a scoping review to explore and synthesize the literature on the support strategies implemented by healthcare organizations for healthcare providers after adverse patient events. Methods: The initial search strategy yielded 244 articles, 84 of which were removed for duplication. The 3-person …

Geriatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Journal Club: Screening For High-Risk Alcohol Use Among Older Adults In The Emergency Department, Kira Gossack-Keenan
Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine
Alcohol use in older adults is a growing and under-recognized issue. Older adults are at higher risk of alcohol-related complications due to underlying comorbidities, frailty, and polypharmacy. High-risk alcohol use and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are often missed among older patients. We present two recent studies on screening older patients for alcohol use. Older adults have unique needs and require a specialized approach to screening.

Study Objectives
The geriatric population is increasing in size and expected to represent 20% of the United States population by 2030 per US census data estimates, with expectant increase in geriatric emergency department (ED) visits.1 Prior research has demonstrated older adults evaluated in the ED are more likely to have an increased length of stay, more diagnostic tests, and higher overall costs than their younger counterparts, but despite consuming greater resources and staff time, older adults are still more likely to be dissatisfied with their treatment outcomes and less likely to feel that their presenting complaint has been resolved. …

Primary care physicians (PCPs) play an indispensable role in providing comprehensive care and referring patients for specialty care and other medical services. As the COVID-19 outbreak disrupts patient access to care, understanding the quality of primary care is critical at this unprecedented moment to support patients with complex medical needs in the primary care setting and inform policymakers to redesign our primary care system. The traditional way of collecting information from patient surveys is time-consuming and costly, and novel data collection and analysis methods are needed. In this review paper, we describe the existing algorithms and metrics that use the …

Introduction: Physician well-being has become increasingly important for health systems across the country due to the strong ties between quality, safety, and overall patient outcomes. Burnout has increased steadily and has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study seeks to successfully identify factors that both enhance and detract from well-being in a cohort of pediatric faculty and advanced practice providers (APPs).
Methods: This study utilized a multimethod approach including surveys and a total of 8 semi-structured, virtual focus groups of pediatricians and advanced practice providers (orchestrated through Microsoft Teams) to understand perspectives on burnout and well-being. Each …

End-Of-Life Care In The Trauma Bay: Six Key Points, Louis Christie Dr
Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine
The dominant culture across North America, Europe and Australia has been characterized by workers in hospice and palliative care as ‘death denying’ or ‘death phobic’. The last two decades have seen a significant increase in the number of trauma patients with complex background co-morbidities due to advanced age. Effective end-of-life care in trauma requires physicians to begin careful, balanced and sensitive conversations encompassing goals of care and expectation-setting, in the trauma bay. These pointers will help the reader communicate the principles of these clinical decisions clearly to patients and their families.

Head Injury In Older Adults: To Scan Or Not To Scan? Ten Tips To Make The Best Decision, Audrey-Anne Brousseau, Éric Mercier
Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine
Ground-level falls are a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits by older adults. In addition to understanding the cause of the fall, the assessment of potential fall-induced injuries such as traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, can be highly challenging for emergency clinicians. Premorbid conditions, medications and concomitant injuries can all interfere with the physical examination and impact the prevalence of signs traditionally associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). When it comes to the decision to potentially investigate for a traumatic intracranial hemorrhage with a brain imaging such as a head computed tomography (CT), many potential predictors and factors will be considered. …

Current Best Practice In Pelvic And Hip Fracture Management In The Older Adult Population, Anthony P. Joseph
Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine
Fractures of the pelvis and hip are a relatively frequent occurrence in the older population. Pelvic fractures in older patients usually occur after a fall from standing height. CT scan is the investigation of choice. There are several classifications available which are useful in risk stratification and predicting surgical treatment. Haemorrhage is a major complication and can usually be treated by interventional radiology. An Orthopedic opinion should be sought promptly, and surgical stabilisation (if indicated) should be completed as early as possible to enable early mobilisation and the avoidance of complications such as deep vein thrombosis or pneumonia.
